Etusivulta

Etusivulta is a Finnish noun form meaning "from the homepage" or "from the front page." It is the elative case of etusivu, which refers to the homepage or main page of a website or publication.

Etymology and form: etusivu is a compound of etu (front) and sivu (page). The elative suffix -lta marks origin or source, so etusivulta corresponds to "from the front page." The elative case answers questions about movement or source, such as "from where?" in spatial or figurative contexts.

Usage: The form is commonly used in digital and media contexts to indicate the source or location of content on a site. Examples include: Tiedot löytyvät etusivulta. (The information is on the homepage.) Käy etusivulta hakemassa lisätietoja. (Go to the homepage to fetch more information.) Lähde: etusivulta. (Source: from the homepage.) In these sentences etusivulta functions as an adverbial expression of origin.

Notes: The elative form etusivulta is specific to the singular of etusivu; other cases add different endings for different grammatical purposes. The construction is common in journalism, web navigation, and everyday Finnish when describing content located on or sourced from a website’s front page.
